On Wednesday afternoon Of last
week, during the absence of Mr.. Henry
Crawford in town, his little children got
to playing rabbit" with a loaded pistol,
the result of which was the serious wound
ing Of one Of them, Jake-about nine
years of age. The pistol was, of course,
accidentally discharged the ball entering
the thigh, just below pouparts ligament,
on the left side and coming out on the
opposite side, about an inch and q half
from the anus, making a dangerous
wound, but up to this time the boy is do
ing remarkably well, and the indications
are that he will recover.

-On Monday afternoon last, Judge
Alcorn. of Mississippi, addressed q
large concoursc of our people, in the
court house, in favor of the prohibition
amendment. The speaker was introduced
by ex-Judge Hacker, who himself grew
quite warm on the subject, and made a
very forcible little speech. The remarks
by Mr.. Alcorn hardly came up to expecta-
tons, and in u opinion the gentleman
would be more Of a success as a debator
than a ar orator. The audience. how
ever, listened very attentively to his re-
marks and doubtless many of them learns
ed much that will influence their suffrage
when the day comes to settle the question
at the polls. TIN kagc spokcthe same

The temperance rally and picnic held
at the Boon's Creek church on Saturday
last, was undoubtedly one of the most
successful in every respect held in East
Tennessee this summer. There were
present well on to 1000 people, and a
great deal OF enthusiasm was manifested
by all. In the morning addresses were
delivered by the Rev. Willard, pastor Of
the church, Prof. j. G. Tate, chairman OF
the Garter county prohibition committee,
and Col. T. II. Reeves. In the aftg Jon
addresses were made by Revs. DR.. james
G.. Mason, Z. Allison, J. 7. Wilds and G.
A. Duncan. While all these speeches
are said TO have been exceedingly inter
esting and worthy Of much praise, the one
delivered by our friend Col. T. II. Reeves,
is said to have far surpassed anything
heretofore delivered by this gentleman,
MIR. Reeves is to be congratulated upon
the wonderful success he is meeting will
as a public speaker. and we hope tina
his good genius will stick TO him rs close
ly all through life.
